Central to the story Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order stars the red-haired Padawan Cal Kestis, played by Shameless star Cameron Monaghan. Former Respawn Entertainment Lighting Designer Nora Shramek toldthat the developers had other plans for the main character.
According to Nora, many employees hoped that the main character would be either a black woman or just black. The publisher didn’t like the idea: first, there were already two black characters in the game; second, the new Star Wars trilogy is also dedicated to a woman.
The developer also heard at one of the meetings how someone suggested making the faces of black characters shinier because their skin is “thicker than other people’s”.
Shramek concluded that it is through such decisions that racism, misogyny and homophobia help the industry prosper.
Meanwhile, EA is preparing a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, to be announced May 26-29 as part of the Star Wars Celebration. Both insiders and a recent financial report suggest the release will take place in early 2023. Russian twitch streamer and blogger Nekoglai had a serious accident
